The champions dominated the match at the start and raced to a 8-0 lead at half time from a penalty kick by Jonathan Sauzah followed by a try from Marommie Roland.
Despite their dominance, SOWRC found it hard to penetrate their opponents’ defence and it was only after 10 minutes into the second half that they made the breakthrough with a try from Marommie again and the followed up conversion was successfully done by Jonathan.
SABORC’s response was swift as Eddie Masrin scored the first try for them, and in the final minutes of the game they scored another try by Razitaman Kaalam, but it came too late and the final score stood at 15-10 to the champions.
In third place were last year’s losing finalists KK Sharks who beat Sabah Osca Warriors Pangaits 17-10 in the play off while the plate final was won by Monsters Rugby with a 23-5 win over Keningau Crocs.
